---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (7) (3.33/1 +26%) Shaquille |
3.33/1(+26%) | (7) Shaquille 3.33/1, Well-made colt who has met with defeat just once when far too keen in the Acomb and resumed (refused to enter stalls intended comeback on Good Friday) with impressive victory in 6f Newmarket handicap in the mud a fortnight ago. Commonwealth Cup entry and can go on improving. Improving colt who won at Newmarket on 2,000 Guineas day, taking 6f record to 3-3. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (33/1 -83%) Desert Cop |
33/1(-83%) | (3) Desert Cop 33/1, Has come a long way in a short time, posting a smart effort to win a valuable conditions race at Newcastle (6f, AW) on Good Friday. Well held on first go on turf in the Pavilion at Ascot 17 days ago, though. Failed to transfer his AW progress to turf at Ascot last time; opposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (0.73/1 +0%) Noble Style |
0.73/1(+0%) | (4) Noble Style 0.73/1, Unbeaten in 3 outings as a juvenile, including victory in the Gimcrack, and not disgraced in the 2000 Guineas on return, not seeming to stay having pulled hard. From a family mostly of sprinters, this powerful sort can do better back over 6f. The one to beat. Not entirely disgraced in the 2,000 Guineas; sets a high standard on his Gimcrack win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (8/1 +11%) Aesop's Fables |
8/1(+11%) | (2) Aesop's Fables 8/1, Rather stop-start since winning his first 2 outings (Curragh 7f Group 2 second occasion), underperforming on his reappearance at Navan 4 weeks ago. Return to a sounder surface should suit at least. Ballydoyle colt who may improve for this return to faster ground; enters calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (9/1 +0%) Rabaah |
9/1(+0%) | (5) Rabaah 9/1, Green on his debut but that race worked out well and he's 2-2 in AW novices since, improving plenty when scoring impressively at Wolverhampton 12 weeks ago. Can progress further. Progressing well and looks the type to develop into a Listed/Group colt; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (28/1 -56%) Rumstar |
28/1(-56%) | (1) Rumstar 28/1, Progressive 2-y-o sprinter, signing off with victory in the Cornwallis at Newmarket. Penalised on return which makes life hard and he'll need to improve again. Progressive 2yo campaign ended with a Cornwallis win; has to overcome 5lb penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (33/1 +0%) Rousing Encore |
33/1(+0%) | (6) Rousing Encore 33/1, Useful colt who was second in the Mill Reef over C&D last term. Better effort this season in the Pavilion at Ascot last time although he never landed a blow. Looks up against it. Peak effort came over C&D in the Mill Reef but he's an exposed sort. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
NOBLE STYLE emerged with plenty of credit from the 2000 Guineas when fading into sixth after travelling smoothly into the race, suggesting a step back down to this distance is a positive move. The son of Kingman won the Gimcrack over this trip last year and he could prove to be a cut above his rivals. The main threat might be Aesop's Fables, who landed the Futurity at the Curragh as a juvenile and offered enough encouragement when second on his return at Navan. Shaquille is a rapid improver to keep an eye on.
Usually a hot early-season 3-y-o sprint and a trial for the Commonwealth Cup, with one of the ante-post favourites NOBLE STYLE taken to book his Royal Ascot ticket with victory. He met with defeat in the 2000 Guineas on his return when not seeming to stay (though still not beaten far) and promises to do a lot better back over 6f. Shaquille's Commonwealth Cup entry doesn't look fanciful after his impressive comeback victory at Newmarket and he's feared. Rabaah should have more to offer also.
Noble Style is strongly respected back over 6f but he's taken on with tempting alternative SHAQUILLE.

1st (7) (2.5/1 +25%) Haskoy |
2.5/1(+25%) | (7) Haskoy 2.5/1, Won her first 2 starts last summer in Wolverhampton novice and listed fillies' event at York before a fine effort in the St Leger under Dettori (still rough around the edges, finished second, demoted to fourth for causing interference). Tongue tied for return and should have more to offer. 2nd past post in the St Leger on just third start, little more than six weeks after debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/1 +36%) Israr |
7/1(+36%) | (3) Israr 7/1, Smart colt who was third in the King George V Handicap last summer and looked a good prospect when bagging Doncaster event in October. Disappointing favourite in November Handicap there after but should bounce back and could be set for a good year, well worth his place at this level. One to consider despite this move out of handicaps and into a Group race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (10/1 +17%) Bolshoi Ballet |
10/1(+17%) | (1) Bolshoi Ballet 10/1, 2021 Belmont Derby winner who has been seen just twice since his 3-y-o days, shaping well enough behind promising staying stablemate at Navan 4 weeks ago. Needs to build on that back in trip. Some smart form in 2021; ran only once last term and also below form on 2023 reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (2.25/1 -80%) Yibir |
2.25/1(-80%) | (6) Yibir 2.25/1, High-class performer who signed off for 2022 with victory in the Group 2 Princess of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket. Set for another good campaign and strong claims on these terms. Off since last July; not one to trust implicitly but he again brings clearly the best form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (12/1 -33%) Kemari |
12/1(-33%) | (4) Kemari 12/1, 2021 Queen's Vase winner who has run plenty of good races since, including in Meydan Group 2 over this trip 11 weeks ago. Not dismissed back on these shores Form player but it's a little disconcerting that he has not won since 2021 Royal Ascot. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (7/1 +42%) Old Harrovian |
7/1(+42%) | (5) Old Harrovian 7/1, Much improved from debut (after an absence) when scoring at Lingfield, then made a fine impression when following up emphatically in a novice at Wolverhampton, again over this trip. Needs to prove he's as effective on turf upped markedly in class, but there's further progress on the cards if he is. This race demands much improved form but it's hard to pin down just how good he is. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (8.5/1 +29%) Gaassee |
8.5/1(+29%) | (2) Gaassee 8.5/1, Got up a 4-timer in 1½m handicap at the Dante meeting last season before a fine third in the Old Newton Cup. Well-beaten favourite in the Ebor final start and has been gelded. Retains potential over this trip and no surprise if he had more to offer in 2023. Gelded since lame in the Ebor (favourite) last August; needs to resume improvement. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Yibir is top-rated in this contest by upwards of 9lb and is likely to be a warm order. The 2021 Breeders' Cup Turf hero regained the winning thread in the Princess Of Wales's at Newmarket last July but has been off since, which is a concern. A chance is taken on ISRAR, who has improved in the handicap ranks so far. The son of Muhaarar, out of champion filly Taghrooda, is expected to progress again this year and can bridge the gap into Group company. Haskoy, second past the post in the Leger, is another to note on her return to the fray.
YIBIR has been a globe-trotting money-spinner for Godolphin and looks set for another profitable campaign. Unpenalised for his Group 2 Newmarket win when last seen in July, he can make a successful return. 4-y-o filly Haskoy was second past the post in the St Leger and could have more to offer in 2023. Israr and Gaassee are also ones to follow this year.
Yibir dominates on form but is not straightforward. HASKOY makes more appeal, having surged to prominence so quickly last term.

1st (2) (4.5/1 +31%) Bertinelli |
4.5/1(+31%) | (2) Bertinelli 4.5/1, AW maiden winner at Dundalk last November who took his form up another notch when second in 1¼m Cork conditions race on his reappearance 29 days ago. Highly likely this well-bred colt from a top stable has more to give. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/1 +9%) Bold Act |
10/1(+9%) | (1) Bold Act 10/1, Improved again to make it 4 in a row in a valuable conditions race at Chelmsford in April. His winning run came to a halt when only fifth in Newmarket listed race last time and he'll require a really smart effort to defy clear top weight in this very strong handicap. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/1 +9%) Exoplanet |
5/1(+9%) | (3) Exoplanet 5/1, Son of Sea The Stars who looked good when making a winning debut over 7f here last September. Found the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket too much 3 weeks later but quickly back on the up with second to the very promising Military Order in C&D conditions race on reappearance. Much respected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (10/1 +50%) Have Secret |
10/1(+50%) | (10) Have Secret 10/1, Improved with each start last year, winning nurseries over 7f at Haydock (good to firm) and 1¼m at Nottingham (heavy). Another 8 lb higher on reappearance but further progress can't be discounted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (33/1 -18%) Forca Timao |
33/1(-18%) | (7) Forca Timao 33/1, Left debut behind when 40/1 winner of 7f Doncaster novice last June. Not seen again until 7 lengths fifth of 7 to Castle Way in listed race at Newmarket (1¼m, good) 15 days ago. Entitled to come on for that first outing in 11 months. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (18/1 +45%) Old Smoke |
18/1(+45%) | (12) Old Smoke 18/1, Placed first 3 times prior to getting off the mark in 1m Thirsk novice 4 weeks ago. Clear with a subsequent winner on that occasion and appeals as one who could go on to even better things in handicaps. Up in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (33/1 -32%) Mr Mistoffelees |
33/1(-32%) | (6) Mr Mistoffelees 33/1, Siyouni colt who progressed nicely last year, culminating with 1m Kempton novice win in December. Beaten 7¾ lengths into sixth but improved again when pitched into the Group 3 Craven on his Newmarket reappearance. Steps up to 1¼m for handicap debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (4/1 +11%) Desert Hero |
4/1(+11%) | (5) Desert Hero 4/1, Plenty of promise at 2, finishing third in Group 3 Solario at Sandown in between novice wins at Haydock (7f, good) and Redcar (9f, soft). This Derby-entered colt can go on to better things this year. High on the shortlist. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (14/1 +0%) Loyal Touch |
14/1(+0%) | (9) Loyal Touch 14/1, Won a Carlisle novice and Kempton handicap (both 1m) as a juvenile. Pedigree suggests there could be more to come now stepping up to 1¼m for reappearance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (15) (50/1 +0%) Raintown |
50/1(+0%) | (15) Raintown 50/1, Enjoyed a productive 2-y-o campaign on the AW, completing the hat-trick in a nursery at Lingfield (1¼m) on New Year's Eve. Off 4 months, seemed ill at ease on the track when only seventh at Goodwood 15 days ago but even his very best form leaves him with a bit to find from 3 lb out of handicap. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (6/1 +14%) Royal Rhyme |
6/1(+14%) | (4) Royal Rhyme 6/1, Going the right way, finding another chunk of improvement when the ready winner of a 1¼m Newmarket handicap (soft) 13 days ago. Handicapper hasn't missed him with a 10 lb rise but this progressive colt remains of interest. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (7.5/1 -50%) Lieber Power |
7.5/1(-50%) | (8) Lieber Power 7.5/1, Different proposition on second start when winning 10-runner novice event at Kempton (7f) in October. Possibly needed the run when only sixth of 7 in 1m novice there 5 months later. Still early days and 1¼m will suit on breeding. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (18/1 +45%) Cool Party |
18/1(+45%) | (11) Cool Party 18/1, Won Epsom maiden and a Wolverhampton novice over an extended 1m at 2. Possibly not at home on soft ground when only fifth of 6 to Royal Rhyme on his 1¼m Newmarket handicap debut/reappearance and retains potential. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (16) (50/1 +24%) Ithaca's Arrow |
50/1(+24%) | (16) Ithaca's Arrow 50/1, From a stable which has enjoyed a cracking spring and he stepped up on his 2-y-o form to win a 1½m Lingfield (AW) novice on his reappearance 16 days ago. Very much enjoyed the run of that race from the front and lot more on his plate now handicapping from out of the weights. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
DESERT HERO is two out of three to date, with the latest of those victories a comfortable three-length verdict under a penalty in a Redcar novice event back in October. The son of Sea The Stars, who is still in the Derby, is likely to find improvement for this further step up in trip and he ought to go very close on his handicap bow. Royal Rhyme, who struck over this distance by five lengths at Newmarket's Guineas meeting, could get in contention off 10lb higher, while Bertinelli has to be of interest for the Aidan O'Brien stable.
Nearly always one of the strongest 3-y-o handicaps of the season. DESERT HERO is in the Derby and gets the vote to take his record to 3-4 on his reappearance. Irish-raider Bertinelli is another low-mileage colt with plenty of potential and heads the dangers along with easy Newmarket handicap winner Royal Rhyme. The other Sheikh Mohammed Obaid runner Exoplanet chased home Lingfield Derby Trial winner Military Order on his C&D return and can also figure if stall 16 isn't too troublesome.
Having shaped well over C&D on his reappearance, EXOPLANET may well have the class to prevail. Mr Mistoffelees is next on the list.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (8) (3/1 +14%) Modern Games |
3/1(+14%) | (8) Modern Games 3/1, Four-time international Grade/Group 1 winner, including 3 last seasons, namely French 2000 Guineas at Longchamp, Woodbine Mile in Canada and Breeders' Cup Mile at Keeneland. Left with too much to do when runner-up in Grade 1 at Keeneland on return last month and good chance he can make amends here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (22/1 -10%) Chindit |
22/1(-10%) | (3) Chindit 22/1, Landed the Group 2 Summer Mile at Ascot last year and looked as good as ever when taking advantage of drop in class in listed race there on return. Good third in this last season, albeit proving no match for Baaeed. Making the frame probably the best he can hope for once again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (33/1 +18%) Berkshire Shadow |
33/1(+18%) | (1) Berkshire Shadow 33/1, Smart performer who made it 2 from 2 on the AW this year in valuable event at Newcastle 6 weeks ago but firmly up against it back at this level on return to turf. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (3.5/1 +36%) My Prospero |
3.5/1(+36%) | (10) My Prospero 3.5/1, High-class colt who signed off last season with an excellent second to Bay Bridge in the Champion Stakes at Ascot. Form pick on that effort and should make a better 4-y-o but this trip is short of his optimum. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (4/1 +20%) Mutasaabeq |
4/1(+20%) | (9) Mutasaabeq 4/1, Very smart miler who is 2 from 2 in this headgear (made all), namely Joel Stakes on final 4-y-o start and bet 365 Mile on return, both Group 2s at Newmarket. Well worth another shot at this level. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (33/1 +18%) Lusail |
33/1(+18%) | (7) Lusail 33/1, Dual Group 2 winner over 6f at 2 yrs, including the Gimcrack at York. Winless since for all he has proved consistent, length fourth of 5 to Chindit in listed race at Ascot (8f, good) 17 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (12/1 +0%) Light Infantry |
12/1(+0%) | (6) Light Infantry 12/1, Runner-up twice at Group 1 level in France last summer, including pushing Inspiral close in the Prix Jacques le Marois. Claims on that form and should prove sharper for his comeback run at Newmarket (3 lengths behind the penalised Mutasaabeq). Not taken lightly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (33/1 +0%) Checkandchallenge |
33/1(+0%) | (2) Checkandchallenge 33/1, Smart colt. Won a 1m Group 3 at Deauville last summer. Good 2½ lengths fourth in Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot final 3-y-o start. Shaped as needing the run when 5¼ lengths fourth of 5 to Mutasaabeq at Newmarket on return but likely to find a few too good once again at this level. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (125/1 +17%) The Wizard Of Eye |
125/1(+17%) | (11) The Wizard Of Eye 125/1, Useful colt but will find this company far too demanding. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (3.33/1 +17%) Laurel |
3.33/1(+17%) | (13) Laurel 3.33/1, Well-regarded filly who easily won her first 2 starts in novices before running a massive race on only her third career start when runner-up in Sun Chariot at Newmarket, just her lack of experience costing her victory. Comfortably landed odds in listed race at Kempton on return and has more to come. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (50/1 -52%) Jumby |
50/1(-52%) | (5) Jumby 50/1, Smart performer at 6f/7f who gained a fifth career success in the Hungerford Stakes here (7f) in August. Failed to land a meaningful blow on his last 4 starts, however, typically slowly away at Newmarket on return. Plenty to find at this level with stamina not assured. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (4) (14/1 -75%) Jadoomi |
14/1(-75%) | (4) Jadoomi 14/1, Low-mileage 5-y-o who made up for lost time last season, completing hat-trick in Group 2 Boomerang Stakes at Leopardstown (1m) in September, making all by 4 lengths. Reportedly finished lame when excellent third in Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot on final start. Much respected. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
A highly competitive renewal of this prestigious contest and it can pay to side with MODERN GAMES, who ended his three-year-old campaign with a dominant success in the Breeders' Cup Mile. Charlie Appleby's colt was consistent at the highest level throughout last season and his comeback second at Keeneland should have put him spot-on. His chief threat may be My Prospero, who ran crackers for third in the St James's Palace Stakes and Champion Stakes at Ascot. Laurel has only been beaten once in her career, when pipped in the Sun Chariot, and could still be anything, while Jadoomi brings strong mile form to the table but is perhaps best suited by cut in the ground. Mutasaabeq (first) and Light Infantry (third) renew their rivalry from the bet365 mile and cannot be underestimated.
A competitive renewal on ratings but MODERN GAMES is the only runner to have won at the highest level (4 times) and he was rather unlucky not to add to his tally at Keeneland 5 weeks ago. He looks the most solid option and can provide Godolphin with a ninth success. Exciting-filly Laurel has the most potential in the field so rates the biggest threat ahead of Mutasaabeq, who has responded very well to blinkers.
The vote goes to highly promising filly LAUREL. Solid performers Modern Games and My Prospero are feared most.

1st (12) (22/1 -10%) Bear Force One |
22/1(-10%) | (12) Bear Force One 22/1, Quirky sort but he knuckled down well when scoring at Kempton (1m) in April. Only twelfth back on turf though at Ascot 17 days ago and others appeal more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (16/1 +0%) Top Secret |
16/1(+0%) | (13) Top Secret 16/1, Arrives on a hat-trick after back-to-back 7f/1m wins at Kempton in November. Goes well fresh so he's not discounted off a 4 lb higher mark (including 2 lb out of the handicap). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (10/1 -11%) Unforgotten |
10/1(-11%) | (10) Unforgotten 10/1, Low-mileage 5-y-o who landed back-to-back 1m Lingfield handicaps in February. Seemed unsuited by the track on his turf debut when last of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, soft) 32 days ago. Sort to bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (3.5/1 -17%) Kingdom Come |
3.5/1(-17%) | (4) Kingdom Come 3.5/1, Highly progressive 4-y-o who racked up a 7f Kempton AW hat-trick in impressive style last month. Still looks well treated after another 7 lb rise and he's the one to beat with this step up to 1m a plus too. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (6/1 +25%) Outbreak |
6/1(+25%) | (9) Outbreak 6/1, Got back on the up when comfortably landing 1m handicap at Newmarket 15 days ago. Up 6 lb but he ought to go well again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (7/1 +36%) Intellogent |
7/1(+36%) | (2) Intellogent 7/1, New stable coaxed him back to his best last term, running crackers under big weights in the Royal Hunt Cup and John Smith's Cup. Good fourth of 7 in Earl of Sefton Stakes at Newmarket (9f, soft) 32 days ago so he's not taken lightly reverted to handicap company. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (20/1 -82%) Bless Him |
20/1(-82%) | (1) Bless Him 20/1, Landed Bunbury Cup at Newmarket last July and not seen to best effect after 9 months off when sixth of 10 over C&D (heavy) 28 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Can take a big step forward here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (4.5/1 +25%) Atrium |
4.5/1(+25%) | (6) Atrium 4.5/1, Three-time winner in 2022, including over C&D, who wasn't discredited when fifth of 10 over C&D 28 days ago, not ideally placed. Needs considering. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (18/1 +18%) Sonny Liston |
18/1(+18%) | (3) Sonny Liston 18/1, Useful 7f winner at his best for Charlie Hills but he ended 2022 out of sorts, last of 7 in Strensall Stakes at York (9f) in October. Needs to get back on track for his new yard on his handicap debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (4/1 +27%) Wanees |
4/1(+27%) | (11) Wanees 4/1, Largely progressive sort who scored twice over 1m in 2022. 10/1, seemed unsuited by heavy conditions when twenty first in Lincoln at Doncaster in March. Still has relatively few miles on the clock and remains with potential. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (33/1 -32%) Beringer |
33/1(-32%) | (8) Beringer 33/1, Smart colt who shaped as if retaining all his ability after 21 months off when fourth in handicap over C&D. Returns from another lengthy absence now but he's no forlorn hope. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (18/1 -29%) Alrehb |
18/1(-29%) | (5) Alrehb 18/1, Improved again to bag AW handicaps around 1m at Southwell and Wolverhampton this year. Came in last of 10 on heavy ground over C&D last time though so needs to bounce back. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
INTELLOGENT shaped encouragingly on his return in the Earl Of Sefton and the form of that race has worked out well, with the winner following up in a Grade 2 in the States. The eight-year-old was unlucky not to land a major handicap last season, but remains on a mark off which he can score. Kingdom Come arrives on a four-timer and must enter calculations, along with Unforgotten and Wanees, who is far better than he showed in the Lincoln. C&D winner Atrium and Top Secret are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Clive Cox's low-mileage 4-y-o KINGDOM COME still looks well ahead of his mark and with this step up to 1m also a positive he rates a confident choice to land a four-timer. Intellogent is next on the list back in handicap company after his good Earl Of Sefton fourth, with C&D scorer Atrium and the still unexposed Wanees completing the shortlist in a useful handicap.
There was plenty to like about the way OUTBREAK (nap) scored on good ground at Newmarket two weeks ago. Top Secret is next best.

1st (10) (2.5/1 +25%) Warm Heart |
2.5/1(+25%) | (10) Warm Heart 2.5/1, Galileo filly who has improved with each run over hurdles, suited by increase in trip when opening her account in 10f maiden at Leopardstown 13 days ago. Open to further progress and needs taking seriously. Progressed in maidens; Galileo filly from top yard, she could easily be a major improver. |

2nd (2) (1.1/1 +12%) Bluestocking |
1.1/1(+12%) | (2) Bluestocking 1.1/1, Bred in the purple and overcame inexperience to make a striking winning debut in 1m Salisbury novice in September, quickening to lead final 100 yds and going away at the finish. Will stay 1¼m and rates a smashing prospect. Late challenge won 1m novice at Salisbury in September; open to stacks of improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (7.5/1 +38%) Crack Of Light |
7.5/1(+38%) | (4) Crack Of Light 7.5/1, Kingman filly who looked a good prospect when making a winning debut under a hands-and-heels ride at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in February. Still green and unsuited by steady pace when turned over at short odds under a penalty at Kempton since and remains with plenty of potential. Seemingly not helped by steady pace last time; capable of better, which is greatly needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (14/1 +36%) Cloudbreaker |
14/1(+36%) | (3) Cloudbreaker 14/1, Landed a 7f novice in a good time on the Newmarket July course last summer. Has resumed with two solid efforts this spring, third in 1m2f Doncaster handicap last time and could have a bigger performance in her now returned to less testing ground. Third on handicap debut (1m2f); much better should be required for a leading role in this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (14/1 -17%) Lmay |
14/1(-17%) | (6) Lmay 14/1, 650,000 gns yearling, Frankel filly out of an unraced half-sister to high-class 1¼m-14.5f (St Leger) winner Logician (by Frankel). Produced a promising effort when second in 7-runner novice at Haydock (1m) 3 weeks ago and seems sure to progress, especially with this longer trip bound to suit. Very green on debut (1m) so did well to be second; this race demands far more, though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (9/1 +10%) Polly Pott |
9/1(+10%) | (1) Polly Pott 9/1, Got on a real roll for Harry Dunlop last summer, taking the big jump from nurseries to Group company in her stride when springing a 40/1 surprise in May Hill at Doncaster. Well held in the 1000 Guineas on return for new yard at Newmarket but does shape as if worth a try over this longer trip. Group 2 win as 2yo; tailed off on soft in the 1,000 Guineas (66-1); gives 5lb all round. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (22/1 +33%) Rich |
22/1(+33%) | (8) Rich 22/1, Useful-looking filly who knew her job well when making a winning start here a year ago but hasn't really progressed in 3 starts since, including on handicap debut at Brighton last time. Others preferred. Only seventh of ten in a Brighton handicap (1m2f) last time; others have more potential. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
BLUESTOCKING created a deep impression when staying on strongly to win on her debut at Salisbury in September and she is fancied to book her Oaks ticket, for which she is as short as 10/1. Warm Heart improved plenty for the step up to this trip to break through at Leopardstown and the daughter of Galileo isn't taken lightly as she potentially puts her own Classic aspirations on the line. Polly Pott, who has a penalty for springing a surprise in the May Hill, wasn't up to the 1000 Guineas but better is expected now.
BLUESTOCKING made a striking winning debut at Salisbury in September and looks the type to go on to better things as a 3-y-o, especially now moving up in trip. Therefore, she earns a confident vote to maintain her unbeaten record. Warm Heart should continue to go the right way given her excellent pedigree, with Lmay another interesting contender following a promising debut at Haydock.
Warm Heart is probably set for a big run but BLUESTOCKING left a very positive impression with her 2yo win.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (14) (8/1 -14%) Shobiz |
8/1(-14%) | (14) Shobiz 8/1, Redcar maiden winner over 7f who made a successful reappearance at Goodwood (6f) last spring. Disappointed next 2 starts but highlighted his effectiveness fresh when third on return at latter-named venue 15 days ago. On a workable mark if he can back that up for yard amongst the winners. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/1 +29%) Sir Thomas Gresham |
5/1(+29%) | (2) Sir Thomas Gresham 5/1, Lightly raced 8-y-o who has gradually worked his way back to form this spring, fourth in a C&D handicap on his penultimate start prior to a good second behind one well ahead of the handicapper at Ascot (6f, soft) 8 days ago. Possibilities from 2 lb higher mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (18) (22/1 -10%) Under The Twilight |
22/1(-10%) | (18) Under The Twilight 22/1, Dual AW winner for Tom Ward (both at 7f) and bettered opening exploits for present stable to land 12-runner Salisbury handicap (6f) 16 days ago, quickening to lead 1f out and doing it comfortably. This a much tougher assignment but 4 lb rise shouldn't prove beyond her on that evidence. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (5.5/1 -57%) Leap Abroad |
5.5/1(-57%) | (4) Leap Abroad 5.5/1, Ended last term on the up, landing each of his last 2 starts and solid return to action this spring, shaping up well for a long way when fourth in 21-runner Newmarket handicap (6f) 2 weeks ago, no extra inside final 100 yds. Eased 2 lb subsequently and he's one to be interested in. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (16) (40/1 -21%) Treacherous |
40/1(-21%) | (16) Treacherous 40/1, Ended lengthy losing run under a cool ride at Wolverhampton (6f) in December, coming off a contested pace to lead close home. Shaped as if better for the run when fifth on return at Doncaster (6f) 2 weeks ago but others appeal more for win purposes on balance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (25/1 -39%) Letmelivemylife |
25/1(-39%) | (10) Letmelivemylife 25/1, Thrived on AW for current yard, landing hat-trick of 7f handicaps, latterly at Chelmsford (7f) in April. Turned in another solid display from inflated mark when third at that venue 30 days ago but task now is to translate the improvement on to the turf. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (7/1 +0%) Bernardo O'reilly |
7/1(+0%) | (6) Bernardo O'reilly 7/1, Best of those held up when fifth on return at Doncaster (6f) and right back to best when landing a C&D handicap, seen to maximum effect under a waiting ride. Clearly still at the top of his game judged on his latest Doncaster second and he's entitled to be thereabouts. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (40/1 -82%) Dig Two |
40/1(-82%) | (5) Dig Two 40/1, Three-time winner for Hugo Palmer (also second in 2021 Windsor Castle). Solid start for present yard when third on return at Kempton (6f) in April and probably best not judged too harshly on his latest Epsom run (looked unsuited by track). Bounce back not ruled out. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (19) (6/1 +40%) Sergeant Tibbs |
6/1(+40%) | (19) Sergeant Tibbs 6/1, Sole career success came on return over this C&D 12 months ago and, having fallen to a career-low mark, he ran best race for present yard when runner-up at Ascot (6f) 7 days ago, edged out late on. Up 2 lb in better race now but he's in with an each-way shout. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (15) (20/1 +9%) Capote's Dream |
20/1(+9%) | (15) Capote's Dream 20/1, Prolific in 2021 but failed to add to his tally in handicaps last year. Returned in good heart this time around, 3 lengths fourth in 7-runner Goodwood handicap (6f) 2 weeks ago. Refitting of cheekpieces need to put an extra edge on him here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (66/1 -100%) Magnificence |
66/1(-100%) | (13) Magnificence 66/1, Displayed fairly useful form as a 3-y-o (successful over 7f) but she went the wrong way last season and yet to fire in 2 starts this spring, very well backed when well held sixth of 7 at Doncaster (7f) 2 weeks ago. Cheekpieces added to usual tongue tie here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (16/1 +27%) Twilight Madness |
16/1(+27%) | (7) Twilight Madness 16/1, Rattled off a quick-fire hat-trick on AW during the winter (all at 5f) and he ran well to finish close up fourth on the back of 4 months off at Epsom (5f, heavy) 25 days ago. This clearly a tougher ask but he is effective over this trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (14/1 -27%) Aplomb |
14/1(-27%) | (9) Aplomb 14/1, Did his winning in small fields for William Haggas and plenty of solid efforts for present yard, shaping as if retaining his ability back from 6 months off when fifth in 15-runner C&D handicap 4 weeks ago. Comes here on an attractive-looking mark if building on that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (11) (18/1 +10%) Amazonian Dream |
18/1(+10%) | (11) Amazonian Dream 18/1, Course winner who capitalised on drop into calmer waters to resume winning ways at Bath (5.7f) last June. Below that level in 2 outings thereafter last season though, and he ran poorly back from 7 months off at Windsor (6f) 3 weeks ago. This looks a tough enough ask. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (1) (6/1 +33%) Popmaster |
6/1(+33%) | (1) Popmaster 6/1, Went without a win in 2022 but he posted some good efforts, notably when runner-up in the Wokingham at the Royal Meeting. Not at his best in couple of starts so far this spring and refitting of blinkers need to have positive effect here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (12) (25/1 +0%) Sir Oliver |
25/1(+0%) | (12) Sir Oliver 25/1, Narrowly denied in refitted cheekpieces at Lingfield (6f) on his penultimate start in April and needed no excuses when third in 4-runner Chelmsford handicap since, having gone from the front. Cheekpieces back on now but this looks a tough ask despite lower turf mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (8) (22/1 -38%) Epsom Faithfull |
22/1(-38%) | (8) Epsom Faithfull 22/1, Successful 4 times from 7 starts during 2022. Mixed bag on all weather since the turn of the year but highlighted she's on her way back when seventh in 9-runner Lingfield handicap (6f) 6 weeks ago, running on. Just 1 lb above last winning mark now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (17) (50/1 -213%) Windsor Pass |
50/1(-213%) | (17) Windsor Pass 50/1, Maiden who went close to bucking that trend when runner-up on belated return/yard debut at Newcastle (7f) in March. Not quite matched that level either start on AW since and she may find a few too good returned to sprinting. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
LEAP ABROAD lost little in defeat when finishing a fine fourth in an ultra-competitive affair at Newmarket a fortnight ago, more so given he carried 2lb overweight, and he makes most appeal now dropped in class slightly. Bernardo O'Reilly has hit some good form of late and is expected to be in the mix once more, while Twilight Madness has another go at 6f after a solid comeback fourth over Epsom's flying five. Letmelivemylife and Sergeant Tibbs are just two others who require consideration.
LEAP ABROAD again shaped well and highlighted he's one to be interested in when fourth in a similar big-field contest at Newmarket recently and, from a 2 lb lower mark, he could well be ready to open his account for the season. Unsurprisingly claims can be made for plenty, with Aplomb, the in-form Bernardo O'Reilly and Shobiz just a trio of others fancied to be thereabouts.
Class may come to the fore here with POPMASTER preferred to Leap Abroad back on better ground.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
